Huh. Two things I'm wondering about:

1) It sounds like this will be the N54 and not the N55. That's strange because I thought the N54 was pretty much on its way out, to be replaced by the twin-scroll single-turbocharged N55.

2) They're calling it the 740i, whereas the 3 series and 5 series with this engine are called x35i. Makes me wonder if the upcoming 3 series refresh (to include the coupe's LCI) will coincide with a change to the 340i designation. I doubt that will happen, but you've gotta wonder what BMW is thinking here...
